Emergency Electrical Services in Greater Boston

Are you concerned about your electrical system but not sure if it’s something that can wait until the morning? 

Here are a few examples of situations that require emergency solutions:

• An unidentified burning smell might come and go or set off smoke detectors unexpectedly. Check appliances, outlets, and your breaker box to try and find the source of this smell. Electrical components may also be hot-to-the-touch, the outlet cover will be discolored, or you’ll smell plastic burning. This could be the beginning of an electrical fire, so it’s vital that you call our team right away.
• You received an electrical shock. This may have happened because old outlets don’t have the third prong for a ground wire. Outlets and switches also may have loosened over time, making wiring unstable. Frayed wiring connected to appliances may shock you when you plug them in, or water is near electricity where there’s no GFCI outlet.
• Your breaker box is an integral part of your electrical system, so if you notice a buzzing or humming sound, it’s time to call DMH Electric Inc. for expert emergency services in Sterling. A low humming sound is typical from your breaker box, but if it gets continuously louder, it can constitute an emergency. This is a sign that the circuit breaker is overloaded which can cause it to overheat and start a fire. 
• If you experience a power outage even though you’ve paid your bill and it’s not during a storm, it could be because of other major power issues in your home. First, call your utility company to see if it’s a widespread outage or if they have scheduled a service. If they don’t know the cause of your outage, call our professional electricians. Major malfunctions like this could create electrical shock hazards and a possible electrical fire.
